"A mother can read all the child-rearing books and can subscribe to any theory of parenting, but what gets passed along to her children is something far more intimate and mysterious than anything contained therein. What gets passed along is her character, and it enters into her kids as surely and as inexorably as water flows from a fuller vessel into a less-full one." Laurence Shames

One of my favorite tricks when doing a session with children is to make incorrect animal noises. For instance, I’ll say: “Listen, I’m going to make my cat sound… woof woof!” The kids usually laugh and then I ask them how THEIR cat sound goes, and we play back and forth this way for a while. But these guys were too smart for me. I made my “cat” sound, and then asked what their cat sounded like and received the response: “we don’t have a cat!” We all had a good laugh over that! Here are a couple of my favorite, with more to come!

I couldn’t decide which I liked better of these two… the little one smiling with his eyes closed just cracked me up!
